System Layout
General
Using the Circuit Diagram as a guide the components should be positioned to give simple and flowing pipe work
Angled a minimum of 15° from the horizontal, i.e. on a pitched roof or using a mounting frame kit
Access to the inside of the roof for plumbing and the outside via scaffolding to mount the collector
If mounting on a flat roof proceed to the ‘Flat Roof Mounting Frame’
Hot Water Cylinder
Typically this will be a direct replacement for the existing cylinder only requiring extra vertical space
However if re-locating the cylinder do so to simplify and shorten the pipe work to the collector
Expansion Vessel and Pumping Centre
Position for good access for maintenance and to give flowing pipe work
If possible place this above the cylinder, which is a good starting position
Controller
The controller can be mounted on the pumping station, or remotely to improve accessibility
